Reply #1: I've lived........... [View All]

In Florida for less than a year, and it's painfully clear that education is, how shall I say this, not exactly valued here. Per capita, I believe that Florida has more ignorant people than any other state. The sadness lies in the fact that they seem to LIKE it that way.
Residents of Florida value their guns, boats and pick-up trucks far more than an education. I'm seriously considering moving AGAIN, because the cultural vacuum is grating against my very being.
But they LOVE their Jebbie! They love the little weasel that openly mocks progressive thinkers in the state. I suppose that's their plan. Let's keep them stupid and do all of their thinking for them, they're easier to control that way.
In a nutshell, this state sucks. If Dumbya wins in 2004, I'm out of here. There has to be a country somewhere where fascism, intolerence, ignorance and hate aren't the norm. It'll have to have nice weather though, I hate snow and ice. That's the only thing Florida has going for it, although the summers are unbearably hot.
